So I hear I was missed? Yay! It was only ONE day, Danny. I think you can live without your grandchild fix for ONE day! Truth be told, not much happened yesterday. We baked some Peanut Butter Kisses (Dylan’s fav) and waited for Gma and Gpa Puppy to arrive for a quick visit before they head to Mexico (jerks). This morning, Gma and I dropped Dylan off at school and then went SHOPPING (Gpa and Avery stayed home)! Woohoo! Sweet, sweet freedom. Christmas shopping in the Brainerd, people! Be jelly! My main agenda though, was to find some shoes to go with Avery’s Christmas outfit. Mission was accomplished and other mission’s I didn’t know I had were also accomplished. I’ve had my eye on these cute little purple shoes (coincidently, the style is called “Dylan”) and just had to have them for her. Um, apparently she doesn’t like them?

Ok, is it time we have the “you are a GIRL. Act like it!” talk again? She is dissing SHOES! What is going on here?! She screamed like there was poison seeping into her feet from within the shoes.

“How do I get these things off?!” Finally, I was able to distract her with music and she forgot about them for a few minutes.

Dylan tried to help with the distraction plan. I think I was more amused than Avery was. “Do it again, Dylan!” He happily obliged. Then it was time for food. Spaghetti was decided on.

And wine.

And bread.There was a minor distraction in the form of a tap, tap, tap on the window. And a glass of wine later, spaghetti was ready.

The rest of the wine is now being drunk, so I must supervise the drinking.
